Rd 2 Gm 5: Pistons vs Cavs (Wed 5/17, 7p, TNT, Chat)

[FP22]

anyone think we might see Carlos Delfino in game 5? with Mo evans supposedly breaking/hurting his thumb, could Flip actually try Delfino on the floor?

This is Flip we're talking about here. He'll play Delk at the 3 or some shit.

[Anthony]

LOL@Matt for even thinking that for one second.

[FP22]

Honestly, I wouldn't even want Delfino to play right now. He hasn't played with the regulars in about a month. I'd rather they put Rip at the 3 and give Delk more burn at the 2.

[Anthony]

I agree. Which should have happened in game 4.

[Black Dynamite]

i just as much doubt he would. but i dont care about delfino being rusty on offense. i just want him in for defense. if he can give lebron even half a fit its worth it IMO. can mo break a toe to be safe from him coming back? i'd take rip at the 3 over mo anywhere on the court.

If Mo is out for game 5, we most likely will see delfino.

Delfino could actually help us out more in an up-tempo game, so hopefully we come out guns blazing.

yea his ability to pass on the break would be nice. but i'm kinda worried about rust as far as offense is concerned. but baptised by fire may be the motto.

just give Mos minutes to Delk if we struggle to score again

[H1Man]

Is Larry Hughes supposed to play on Wednesday?

I think having him for 30+ minutes would be major boost to the Pistons.

Mo has been playing forward exclusively in the playoffs. Delfino is the only sub that can handle that job.
